This is the one that was lifted almost entirely from the rejected version of strip 43. That’s how a lot of strips get written. I may write lots and lots of possible dialogue for any given strip and if something isn’t right for the idea, but the dialogue is good anyway, I’ll save it and use it somewhere else later. In this case, I just wanted to get the Healer and Captain Spectacular into the Captain’s room. What they said almost didn’t matter, so it was easy to just plug in the “saved” dialogue.
